Ok , heres the trick , i have bought a laptop a few months back and its only got USB ports on it ( no printer or com ports ) .

I have a rc flight sim controler that has a joystic plug on it . Are there any available things out there to get my joystic working on this laptop with only USB .

As a point of interest , it does also have the ussual PCMCIA slots .

Thanx .

Adam .

PS .. Are there also USB to Com port adaptors while on the topic .
